The inaugural Catholic Education Sandhurst Languages Film Festival took place in Shepparton on Thursday October 10th at the Shepparton Village Cinema.
In a diocesan first, schools produced films highlighting the benefits of learning a second language. More than twenty schools took part in the competition, which encouraged students to explore the theme, ‘Why learn languages?’ through the medium of film. Participating schools were provided with a Multimedia kit which will enable them to continue to explore film projects within their individual school settings.
Languages education officer, Dolly Gerges said there was much excitement surrounding the film festival. “Schools put a lot of effort into producing their films and they were looking forward to seeing them on the ‘big screen’ on Thursday,” she said.

Not one, but two epic school productions recently took place in Wodonga in front of packed theatre audiences. Performing Arts teacher Tracy Ross has been working overtime with students from St Augustine’s and St Francis of Assisi Primary Schools in Wodonga to present the well-known musicals, Suessical and The Jungle Book.
The first to take place was Suessical at The Albury Performing Arts Centre with the talented students from St Augustine’s Primary School taking centre stage. Suessical takes the audience on a wonderful journey into the imaginative world of Dr Suess, bringing together the larger than life characters of Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Mayzie the bird and of course who could forget the microscopic people from the planet of Whoville, where the inhabitants are smaller than a speck of dust!

As the Clock counted down for the beginning of the Ablaze concert in Shepparton, 600 grade five and six students from the Goulburn Valley area joined in the countdown, shouting out the numbers, 5..4..3..2..1. before erupting into thunderous applause.
Loud music with a heavy rock beat rang out across the auditorium as coloured beams of light streamed across the stage, moving from side to side. Amid the deafening applause, Fr Rob called for the students to stand up, and more cheers broke out as they jumped to their feet, ready to join in. This is the first time the Ablaze concert has included a concert for primary aged students and the reaction was priceless.
